TOMORROW’S ES KEY LEVELS AND TRADE IDEAS
Tonight’s Battle Plan maps the ES key levels for tomorrow’s session… the bounce zones and the trade ideas that go with them. Members read the full plan below.
What is a Bull Bear Strong Level in the ES Battle Plan?
A: A Bull Bear Strong Level is a key price on the ES futures chart where control flips. Above it, bulls are in charge. Below it, bears take over. In Battle Plan #387, the first setup is a continuation long on the reclaim of this level… price drops below it, then climbs back above and holds. That reclaim is your signal. I prefer using it as an add-on location rather than an initial entry. Let the trade prove itself first, then add size when price reclaims the level.
What is the Core Strategy and how did it score 20 points?
A: The Core Strategy is the Full Member trading method taught inside Micros Trader. It is a rules-based approach built on specific price action patterns. Today it earned 20 points on a 3 minute BS Base short, plus a backside short during the Asia session that was called out in the AM Briefing. That Asia short had a beautiful take-profit right at the Speculator’s Special and Battle Plan 2 long location. The Core Strategy is for Full Members only, so if you are on the Battle Plan tier, this is what sits one step up.
What does “snappy ladderback price action” mean for a Battle Plan long?
A: Ladderback price action describes how price pulls back into a level… stepping down in small, controlled moves like rungs on a ladder rather than crashing through. Snappy means the bounce off the level is quick and decisive. In Battle Plan #387, setups 2 and 3 both call for it. Setup 3 is an Expected Range long where the reclaim of the 7650 Strong Level is the ideal entry. If price slams through the level and does not snap back, you have no trade. Wait for the snap.
What is a Strong Level and why does the 7650 level matter?
A: A Strong Level is a price on the ES chart where significant buying or selling has shown up before… a spot where price tends to react. The 7650 Strong Level is called out in Battle Plan #387 as the ideal entry for the Expected Range long. Here is the play. Price drops under 7650, then reclaims it with snappy ladderback price action. That reclaim is your entry. Strong Levels give you a defined location, which means a defined risk. Trade the reaction at the level, and never chase price into it.
What is today’s Tip of the Day, “Set The Stop And Walk Away”?
A: Once your profit is protected and your stop has been moved, stand up and walk away from the computer. Simple as that. Over-managing a healthy runner is how perfect trades get strangled. Every tick you watch is a temptation to exit early, tighten too much, or second guess a trade that is working. Today’s 20 point Battle Plan 2 long was the perfect example… ideal entry, perfect follow-through, target hit. Trades like that only pay in full if you let them run. Set the stop. Trust the plan. Walk away.

You should carefully consider your objectives, financial situation, needs, psychological and emotional fortitude, and any other relevant personal circumstances when determining whether or not trading is suitable for you. Trading is not for everyone, and for some there are much easier ways to make money from a side-hustle or career more suited to their personality and situation.
Trading is exceptionally difficult to succeed at, with a remarkably high failure rate. So please do your own due diligence to protect yourself and your capital from unnecessary losses and damage. Seek advice from a qualified professional (such as a financial advisor) if you feel uncertain about your decision to begin trading.
THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING SECURITIES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT INVESTED. HOWEVER, THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING DERIVATIVES (SUCH AS FUTURES, CFDS, FOREX ETC) MAY NOT BE LIMITED. THIS MEANS YOU MAY LOSE MORE THAN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE OR THE AMOUNT REQUIRED TO HOLD AND CONTROL THE PARTICULAR DERIVATIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN EMPLOYING LEVERAGE.
THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINED IN FUTURES, OPTIONS, FOREX AND CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENCE CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. IN OTHER WORDS, THE USE OF LEVERAGE IS A TOOL THAT CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS LARGE GAINS. WHEN USED PROPERLY THIS CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE, BUT WHEN USED IMPROPERLY AND CARELESSLY IT CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC LOSSES - OFTEN RAPIDLY.
This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of securities and derivatives markets.

It is YOUR responsibility to research and decide whether or not to accept the risks involved in the particular market or asset you choose to trade or invest in.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER TRADING IN SECURITIES, CRYPTOCURRENCIES OR DERIVITIVES PRODUCTS IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR OWN FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
Good luck with your wealth creation journey, and please take this information seriously. The graveyard of failed traders is large and ever-growing, and that is largely due to these warnings being ignored and the many dangers of trading not being respected.
